ok...

the dialog command can have parameters like msgbox,yesno,inputbox, etc.. here Im testing with msgbox

what doesn't work:

The parameters being passed expand and thus cause the final dialog command to have more than the required parameters.

error messages.:

Error: Unknown option Run".
Use --help to list options.


*There is an extra closing parenthesis ( corrected )

*param3 is missing a leading $ (corrected)

*the script ending is dubious/truncated (repasting).

*Why are you escaping the double quotes like this \" ? ( to prevent the parameters from expanding when they are passed )

Code:

DialogBox ()  #Generic call to Dialog Function in Linux
{
Param1=$1               #IdSet
Param2=$2               #Title
Param3=$3               #Backtitle
Param4=$4               #Function
shift; shift; shift; shift;
ParamGeneric=$*         #Function Parameters

echo $Param1
echo $Param2
echo $Param3
echo $Param4
echo $ParamGeneric
set -x
dialog --title \"$Param2\" \
           --backtitle \"$Param3\" \
           --$Param4 \"$ParamGeneric\" 10 70
}


DialogBox 1 "Autosys Run"  "Run Autosys Jil files on environment" msgbox  "  Warning...not tested on production ..for obvious reasons"
